Green & Co S report on cotton futures saws:
While cotton contracts have undergone con-
siderable fiuctuation and run up pretty full
total OF business, the market has been free
from any very pronounced feature. Texas poor
crop accounts and continued trmneSs at the
South induced further covering, and on this
rates ran up some 394 points, and then settled
TO fraction below last evening. The demand
however afterward picked up again, and
restored figures To pretty near the highest, but
the close was ragged, and the support APP
parently difficult. Generally the market seems
to have shown nothing except covering by
'eleventh-hour shorts, and little, if any, new
Investment for any month";
